Representation Summary:

Comments
Clarification is required as to the extent of education contributions likely to be required.
Paragraph 229 states that “if a new development is likely to generate enough children to fill a new school, Norfolk County Council asks developers for the full cost of building that school.” However, the paragraph goes onto state that “with the current CIL approach locally, only land can be secured through a S106 agreement and the build cost of the new school is claimed through CIL.”
From discussions with NCC Education and the GNLP it is understood that when a new School is required the situation will remain as existing i.e. the developer will be expected to provide the land for the School, with the construction being funded through CIL. If this position has changed, it will have significant implications for viability.
The flexibility provided in relation to provision of new schools (para 231), ensuring that they are only provided as and when they are required is fully supported.
See comments made in relation to Question 17.
